[Shanghai] China Hazardous Chemical Management Seminar 2015

Overview

In a concerted effort undertaken by State Administration of Work Safety (SAW) together with China’s Ministry of Industry and information Technology (MIIT) and eight other state-level administrative departments, the new version of “List of Hazardous Chemicals” was released on 9 March 2015, formally dubbed as No.5 Notification of 2015, which will come into force from 1 May this year. The same day marks legal efficacy of the List’s 2002 version and the 2002 version of “List of Highly Toxic Chemicals” terminate.

A fair amount of revisions have been made to the new version of list on the basis of the 2002 version, cutting the total number of chemicals concerned from 3814 to 2828. The “List of Hazardous Chemicals” is an important part of “Decree 591: Regulations on the Control over Safety of Hazardous Chemicals”—the governing legislation passed by State Council which sets the guideline on chemical management in China. The impact of a revised list is far and wide. While contributing to the stepping up of chemical safety management, environmental protection and trade, its ripple effect will foreseeably throw weight upon a vast majority of chemical manufacturers and traders. Greater attention paid to certain variations from the previous version the new List spells serves the immediate interest of those affected.

Relevant companies should also waste no time clarifying whether their products have fallen in the new List, following its nationwide practice. Chemicals included in the List must be dealt with in a manner which during hazardous chemical registration as well as various kinds of registration certificate application ensures delivery of information honest and precise. For those beyond the List and suspected of potential risk, the foremost is to conduct hazard assessment, the result of which shapes subsequent compliance strategy.

This seminar will outright fix upon the new List or “List of Hazardous Chemical 2015”, given the crucial timing, and aims at demystifying riddles from chemical registration, classification to the criteria on label compilation, providing prudent advice to enable relevant technical and managerial personnel better comprehend and digest the new List and expounding obligations and responsibilities restraining companies.
